Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated September 6, 1961 partially reads, "The last of the mountain-swamp-jungle-desert men. That best describes a trim-figured, well-built, grinning, gray-haired man, Doug Newby. A man who admits to 54 but looks like he's in his late thirties. Newby is an outdoor man. His life has been devoted to hunting, guiding hunters in Alaska, plus a mail route in the snow country that covered 700 miles from Portage Bay to Lake Nanann. He was a dog sled mail man for seven years. He has hunted the world over, both for sport as well as profit. The Alaskan experience paid off during World War II. Newby and a party of his Marine mates saw action in the area. Newby spent 14 years in the corps. He still looks and acts with the proud bearing of that branch of the service."
